测一测你的"礼商"

from 东方文化西方语 by 翟华

“礼仪”之“礼”在英语中对应的词可以用etiquette,这个词源于法语etiquette,原意是“法庭上的通行证”。18世纪中期的法国法庭为保证审判活动庄严肃穆地进行,要求进入法庭的人员严格遵守法庭纪律。但不是当庭宣读,而是把这些规矩印在一张长方形的通行证卡片上,发给进入法庭的每一个人作为遵守准则。当etiquette一词进入英文后,衍生出了“礼仪”的含义。


“智”(Intelligence)有智商(IntelligenceQuotient),“情”(Emotion)有“情商”(EmotionalQuotient),所以“礼”(Etiquette)也不妨定义一个“礼商”(EtiquetteQuotient),有好事者编撰了这么一套考题,测试一下你的“礼商”:
